Did you do the XP SP2 update? Search forum for sp2. For zone alarm see link at the bottom of the page at http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml You still haven't told us the model of your modem & router. Please forward these details. The soonner you provide ALL details the sooner we can sort this. Rather than waiting to ask you bit by bit. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; November 8th, 2004 at 06:23 PM. |

I have just deleted Kazaa, becourse it was to slow and kept crashing. But it was at lest able to connect. I have delete the .limewire directory (located at c:\windows). And I have completely shut down Norton. But it is still not working. I am accessing the internet trough a local server at my dormitory (I do not know what routers etc. we are using but the server is unix-based). I still have: recieved incoming this session: false (I do not have a firewall) I have limewire 4.1.10 and windows 95 secondt edition please help |

I'm on a Mac g4, 9.2 os running Limewire 3.5.8 on a dial up connection. I lost the ability to download so I scrapped Limewire and reloaded it. I can connect but it appears I can't share my files although I have selected in options the folders that contain my music files. I've tried downloading but when the file is complete I can't find it saved in the chosen directory or anywhere else. Before this happened the last thing I was downloading was a file that gave me the "this file has a glitch" message but I chose to continue downloading the file because this had not caused a problem in the past. Could this be what corrupted me? I do have Norton file saver. I tried your suggestion in the thread about looking for a fire wall but I could not tell whether there is one there or not. I'm pretty computer illiterate so please make any instructions simple. Thanks |

Go to your LW menu Options>Bug Report & press View Example. I think your version of LW has that option. See this link for image example Post back & tell us if it's True/False. At least with a dial up it's highly unlikely you'll have a router, right? Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Normally in your situation whilst LW is closed, you should delete your LW Prefs called .limewire which are found listed at the top in the system preferences folder when viewed in list mode. Also make sure you have the most recent java version for OS 9.2 If you have 9.2.2 update to MRJ 2.2.6 for OS 9.2.2 OR MRJ 2.2.5 for OS 8.1-9.2 As far as your dwnlds go Your LW Dwnld Folder can be found if you go to LW's menu Options>Saving this will tell you the name & location of this folder. If you also share this folder, it should be listed in the LW Library window where you can highlight a file within it & use the Explore button which will open the foldr for you. |

I forgot to mention, before you delete the LW prefs, make anote of all your option settings. Once you've deleted the prefs you'll need reset them. If LW dwnlds become a bit stuffy, deleting the prefs can often fix it. |

If something works (anything) it's because it probably uses a port that isn't blocked by the firewall set by te IT dep... Try using the same port that Bear uses with LW

Thanks for replying. I did download MRJ 2.6.6 but when I tried to install I got a dialog box that said: The file "Svensk" already on "Macintosh HD" is more recent than what you are about to install. . . So do I still want to install this MRJ 2.6.6? |
